What do you get when you mix Greenday with
Devo? Enter The Network's debut CD “Money
Money 2020,” a tlashback of 1980s new-wave
.complete with synthesizers and keytars.
However, the band's comparisons to Greenday
don't stop with its unique sound. Rumor has it
these mysterious, masked identities are in fact the
members of Greenday.
The most obvious piece of supporting evidence
is the uncanny vocal resemblance between that of
The Network’s lead singer, Fink, and Greenday
front man Billie Joe Armstrong.
Despite the controversy The Network has
stirred up, it has produced a credible album that
is unlike anything that has come out of the alter
native scene in the past 10 years. “Money
Money 2020” can be summed up as a mocking
social commentary poking fun at anybody and
everybody.
The album has clever, quasi-intellectual lyrics
sprinkled throughout its tracks.
The song “Hungry Hungry” is one standout
example of the caustically humorous lyrics that
are the zenith of this album — “Hungry hungry
models, on the runway ... purple plastic earrings,
finger down her throat”.
Track titles such as “X-ray Hamburger” and
“Right Hand-A-Rama,” make it obvious that The
Network is a band that doesn’t take itself or its
critics seriously.
“Transistors Gone Wild” and “Super Model
Robots” are among the standout tracks of the CD.
The repetitive choruses and laser-like guitar riffs
are almost hypnotic in the way they get stuck in
the listener’s head.
The CD mostly appeals to Greenday fans who
are seeking to confirm their sneaking suspicions
that The Network might not be a “new” band.
Other listeners who just can't let go of their
Hypercolor T-shirts and denim jackets will find an
appreciation for this retro gem.
Whatever the case may be, this album stands
out among the saturation of today’s pop-rock.
On its latest release, “North,"
Corporate takes a step away from the cookie-©
norms of the pop-punk realm and relishes in alii
is emo. A year has passed since the band’s &
"Leaving through the Window” first
listeners. What a difference a year has made.
The hand bids gcxxlbye to the radio-]
and power-pop choruses of "If U C Jordan"*
"Punk Rtx'k Princess” that were a staple on itsp
vious record. On “North,” the band conveys®
personal emotional songs such as "She Paintsi
Blue” and “I Won't Make You.”
“North" is reminiscent of the piano-di
stylings on earlier songs like “Cavanaugh Part'.
“Konstantine." The five-piece band from (k;
County, Calif, has a mellowed-out approach or:
latest effort while putting more emphasis on
instrument that first set it apart; the piano.Thel)i
on this album are darker and more revealing,c®
plementing Andrew McMahon’s strained vocals
Some Ians will undoubtedly be alienated try 1
toned-down tempo and lack of sing-alongvew
“North,” but most w ill appreciate the range q
depth the songs possess. However. Somet j
Corporate doesn't completely abandon itseleti
guitars, especially on “Only Ashes,” one of the h|
songs on the CD. Tire first single “Space”seenrsl
one of the weaker songs on the album, because
doesn’t grasp the feel of the band’s new si
same w ay that “Me and the Moon" and "Down J
All in all, this album is different from
first, in that it is geared more toward disheanes:
college students rather than hyper high schoolL
For any Something Corporate fan, it is still v
buying.

Love pleads innocent to
drug possession charges
BEVERLY HILLS. Calif. (AP) — Courtney
Love pleaded innocent Wednesday to two felony
drug counts after ridiculing the charges in a ram
bling monologue to reporters before her court
appearance.
The complaint against the 39-year-old singer-
actress said she illegally possessed two painkillers
when she was treated at a hospital for an Oct. 2
overdose. The two painkillers, hydrocodone and
oxycodone, can be prescribed legally.
She called the charges “retarded.”
“I didn’t even break a law. I didn’t even
shoplift,” Love said before the hearing at Beverly
Hills Municipal Court. The charges stem from an
incident last month when Love was arrested and
booked on two misdemeanor drug countsafter$
allegedly tried to break into the Los Angelesta
of her former boyfriend.
After she was released, Beverly Hills
and paramedics were called to her home *
took Love to a hospital for treatment of a
overdose.
Carrying her pet beagle, Molly, and a bouf*|
of red roses, she rambled about missing moneyi
affair with a married man and throwing a sleep!
pill at a police officer as she spoke to repor
about the allegations against her.
“Don’t tell,” said Love, whose past heti
use was widely reported. “It’s a bigsecretlui
to do drugs.”
Judge Elden Fox scheduled a preliminary to
ing for Dec. II. He instructed Love to meet
Santa Monica probation officials to assess!:
suitability for a drug diversion programs.
